Development application approved for Burnie Courts Complex

The Tasmanian Government is pleased to announce the development application for the new Burnie Courts Complex has been approved by the Burnie City Council, representing a significant milestone for the delivery of this important project.

The new Burnie Courts Complex will improve access to justice in the North and North West of the State, with contemporary, fit-for-purpose facilities for clients and stakeholders.

Attorney-General, Guy Barnett, said this was an exciting milestone for the project.

“Our Government is delivering for Tasmanians, ensuring access to justice for the North and North West," the Attorney said.

“The Wilson Street site is ideally located on a corner block adjacent to the Burnie Police Station and is in close proximity to client-related services, which will support improved court operations and security.

“The project will help revitalise the Burnie CBD and deliver jobs and investment for the North West, with local businesses to benefit from increased trade both during construction and ongoing operations.

“Enabling works are well progressed at the site to ensure its ready for construction early next year, and I look forward to updating Tasmanians as this significant project continues to make progress over the coming months.”
